Given a table of values of x and y, how
would you express the rule to describe
the correspondence between the two
variables?
In the table above, every value of x
corresponds to a unique value of y. Since y is
the dependent variable, then y can be
expressed as a function of x, which in this
ex. is y = 4x+1 or f(x) = 4x+1.
Characteristics of a function:
• Each element in set X must be matched with an
element of set Y.
• Some elements in set Y may not be matched
with any element in set X.
•Two or more elements of set X may be matched
with the same elements of set Y.
• An element in set X cannot be matched with
two different elements in set Y.

Using the given variables, translate the
following statements into functional
notations.
f(T) = P
b. The price per unit C of a
commodity is dependent on the
number of units u demanded by
a consumer.
f(u) = C
c. Give a function C that can
represent the cost of buying x
meals, if one meal costs P40.
